The iPhone officially went on sale yesterday from China’s Unicom. While they lacked the same frenzied fans as the US – that was during the initial Gen 1 launch – a few lines did form leaving queued customers in the rain for up to 7 hours. The first owner of...

Bagels have the tendency to go stale very fast, as in 1 to 2 days – 2 if you’re lucky, any more and you’re not eating a true bagel (you Jews know what I’m talking about). Enter the Battery Operated Bagel Dome. I’m resisting the temptation to draw pun to...

It looks like Nintendo is feeling the pressure from the iPhone. So much so, that the company’s President, Satoru Iwata, is perhaps considering an Amazon Kindle like wireless model to deliver games to the portable gaming unit. I’m interested because it’s a new business model in which the user doesn’t...

I’d love to say I could say ‘I told you so’ but since I never once wrote about the inevitable demise of Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform on this blog I really can’t. But alas, the gaming unit has met its end. The news actually comes as no surprise. First it...

Just when Motorola delivers a break through product, up pops HTC rearing their not so ugly head. Set to launch on the same day as the DROID is the ‘DROID’ Eris, which is essentially a rebranded Hero handset. The ‘DROID’ Eris name possibly has something to do with some sort...

Talk about sweet! I never thought of fish being worthwhile pets but I’d maybe think differently if I saw them all domesticated in one of these designer tanks. At a stupid ass price of $6,500, I can only imagine the “trustafarian” who displays this in their loft. It also looks...

Not too long ago we posted on the expensive but cool TouchScreen Rubik’s Cube and today we have the Classic Nintendo version. Though I don’t recognize all of these icons, I’m sure there are fanboys out there that have these tattooed in special places. Designed by deviantARTist r4r3truffle, this item...

Available next month, GM’s AutoNet will let you literally install a WiFi hotspot in your car. The unit plus installation will cost $500 and there will be a monthly charge of $30 for a 1GB cap. There is also a 5GB cap offered but no price is known as of...

Flashback to a time when facial recognition seemed so far off from reality. Now open your eyes. This FaceID system can recognize up to 500 different faces using a pair of digital cameras to create a 3-D image of your face. After that it runs a face detection algorithm to...

If the ReNu solar powered iPhone docking system piqued your interest then listen up, because Regen is at it again. The REVERB is a giant speaker that stands 35-inches high and can be powered by, you guessed it, the sun’s solar rays. Up top is an Apple 30-pin dock, 2x...

Although the details are few and far between, it looks like Flip, the folks behind those cutesy pocket sized camcorders, are about to release a set top box for the living room TV. But unlike the Apple TV and a many set top boxes this one won’t be Internet connected,...
